OId ArtillerY Horses. ].

Artillery horses. sitter two or three
years OF drilling, respond as readily
to the bugle call as do thsir riders.
Fred Grant was captain OF the artil-
lery squadron during his last year at
West Point. At the inspection held
by the officia; visitors one Of whom
was his father, the artillery was sum
moned to a drill. IL was announced
that the commands would be given
by bugle call. and verbally repeated
by the officer to his men.
Young Grant, who, having no ear
for music, could not tell the retreat
from the "charge, got out OF this diff
Guilty by riding the trained horse oi
one of the sergeants She carried him
through. When the bugle sounded
forward" the horse advanced, and
Fred shouted the order. When s'halt"
came from the bugle the horse stopped
and the rider cried 'sHalrl''
During the war the artillery horses
showed not only an ear for music, but
an eye for their flag, ais this anecdote
proves:
| once saw young soldier who be.
longed to a battery Of artillery en-.
gagged in patching the holes in his gui.
don Ia markers flag with cloth from
the lining OF his uniform.
When asked him why he spent SO
much time TO mend that old flag, his
answer was, that, as we were SO far
from the base Of supplies, he could
not get a new one.
When the battery went into action
with twenty-six horses and six guns
he always stuck the pike ofthe gnidon
into the ground where the battery
was TO form.
II the man who rode the leadins
horse was killed or disabled, and the
noise of battle was so great that the
bugle call could not be heard, the
horses would wheel around the flas
and execute the man9uvre known a.
by left into line, and bring the rnuzzles
OF the guns on a line with the flag.
Then as soon as theguns we're unlim-
bered, he would. again place it about
two hundred PAGES to therear. and the
horses would gallop to the rear with
the caissons and halt again on q Iine
with it.

three started on foot for Billings.
The weather was not extremely
cold. and If IL had not been for the
snow. the walk would have been easy
and not unpleasant. But a stiff wind
was blowing from the west and the
snow, which is deeper than for years,
was badly drifted, and so packed as 10

In some places the drifts were 30 deep

the spring to get q drink, and

An Effort Being Made To secure Sufficient
Appropriation to Carry on the Business Of
/ the Helena once.
SuIveyor-General Greene has lately
been III correspondence with Delegate
Toole in reference 10 securing some sd-
ditional appropriation for the clerk
hire In his office. 1t will be remem-
bered that for the present fiscal year
only ", 900 appropriation Was made
for clerk hire in bls office, whereas
there was exactly as much work 10 do
as in former years when the clerk hire
had been 500. Surveying contracts
to the amount Of SIS. 900, growing out
Of the delayed appropriation for the
last fiscal year, were let, performed
and the field notes returned to the
surveyor-general's office. But as no
sufficient clerk hire is available, clerks
cannot be employed. The field notes
cannot be worked up, contractors are
kept out Of their money, settlers can
not obtain their patents aud great loss
and Inconvenience is the result.
In the hope hat q deficiency spprO-
priaiion to cover this difficulty might
be made, Gen. Greene has applied TO
Delegate Toole and the latter TO Com
missioner Sparks and to Congress-.
But Sparks evidently thinks 1t an
other scheme on the part OF western
land thieves and he refuses to make
the recommendation, aud Cong fess
refuses 10 at without Sparks recon-
msDdatioD.
But Gen. Green has hope that
another move ment may result in more
favorable consideration. The resolu-
tion that resulted ia the reductiod Of
clerk hire In surveyor-generals' offices
all over the country was introduced by
Senator Plumb, Of Kansas, but at the
timr he intimsted that he had no de-
sir Ia do injustice but merely thought
IL fair tn graduate office expen-es in
accordance with the fact that there
was no appropriations for land sur
veys for the fiscal year. He said in
effect that II any injustice was the re-
suit he was willing 10 do what he
could to reciify IL For this office, at
least. the result as been gross iDjust-
ice, AS with little office servic. as
much work is to be dane n In Ordi-
nary years, owing to the fact that last
years survey appropriation was all
handled this year. Acting on Senator
Plumb's expressed feeling in the mat
: ter, Gen. Greene has undertaken to
present him with sn appeal TO sup
port deficiency bill, and TO that end
has written a letter 10 Gov. Hauser
setting forth the facts clearly and
forcibly. The letter il written I, Gov.
Hauser and will be by him endorsed
and forwarded to Senator Plumb: IL
is to be hoped that something will be
done IN the matter, as great inconven-
ience and loss is resulting from IL.
The surveyors who took the contracts
are particularly agrieved, as they took
them on q cash uasis. expecting rea-
sonably prompt payment, but are now
waiting an indefinite term for their
money.-Independent.

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the Tuttle cOmbi-
nation steam washer is an article of true
MERIT !; that it is, without question, the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. 1t clenses the finest lace or
coarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury. The machine is easily
worked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it, and will do wash
ing in two hours that requires hard
DAYS labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer. The Tuttle steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted apatent.. There has been large
territory disposed of on the merits of the
Tuttle washer, and while there is good
" field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns. Elk
cellent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the Tuttle washer in this city
for nearly q year, and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
will show or operate the washer at your
homes free of charge. Dodge City is our
HEADQUARTERS for western Kansas, at the
grain and grocery store of j. W. Gibbs
& Co., where we will be pleased to meet
parties wishing to interview us.

KILLED AT BEAVER.

News was rapidly circulated through
the city Friday that the remains of VIM.
Olive had arrived from the Neutral Strip,
which was the first news received here OF
his death. 1t is difficult matter to get
at the complete details in these cases of
killing that occur out of the county, but
the facts as learned are that the difficulty
was caused by drunken man who was
endeavoring to paint the town, and that
in attempting to arrest him a melee en-
sued in which Olive, who it is said was
trying to preserve the peace, was shot
through the heart and killed instantly.
His funeral was conducted by Rev. B. F.
Powelson, at the residence of his wild
owed mother, in this city, Sunday NOR
ming, Sep. 18th.
